Robber Shotgunned Dead

(Wichita, Kansas) A 27-year-old armed robber, Alexander R. Mies, entered the Salyer Pharmacy on Saturday and demanded drugs from owners Tom Lundberg and Fred Karban. Not a good idea.

[T]he man pulled out his gun while yelling and demanding Lortabs and narcotics, Lundberg said.

That's when Lundberg ran to grab a shotgun he has kept at the pharmacy since a 1993 robbery attempt.

When Lundberg came out of the back room, he saw the intruder pointing the handgun at co-owner Fred Karban, Lundberg said.

At one point, the man ducked behind the counter and Lundberg thought he was going to leave.

"Then, he came right back up and pointed it at Fred," Lundberg said.

"And then, he pointed it back at me, and then I shot him. That's pretty much the end of it."

One shotgun blast. To the head. The end.
